The next version of the documentation will probably be another .doc file. The .doc is the source because the person writing the documentation prefers to write in .doc format. It would be disingenuous to say that anything other than the .doc is the source. If I were writing the documentation from now on, I would convert once to docbook, or some other civilized format and then say that the .docbook file was the source. But I am not writing the documentation, so I can't do that. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
